Autodidactic StudiosThe most Frankenstein music collab ever. Long-story short the Koto Breaker track started as Waterflame sampling an MP3 version of pftq's song in FL Studio, which pftq then used the WAV file of to build on without knowing the tempo, which Waterflame then used the WAV of, etc. Add one year of hiatus, pftq finding out his soundcard had everything panned right from a defect, Waterflame finding out FL Limiter has been reducing the stereo-width of all his exports, and you have this mess. The song even has a fractional 154.79 BPM for tempo.

This time mimicking the style of Propellerheads' Spybreaks (and the name of ours being a homage to their album name). This one is primarily composed by Waterflame, taking him only 45 minutes for the base draft (is that a record?), and then 2 hours from pftq for structure/arrangement and mixing.

XsToRmEr1 is most known for the track Flames of the Sky.

VFX and animation by pftq and Waterflame.Strings of the WolvesAutodidactic Studios2024-03-25 | Final track from our new suite of string-driven orchestral scores by @WaterflameMusic and @pftq. We wanted to see if we could emulate the sci-fi feel of Raised by Wolves (Ben Frost) and The City of Lost Children (Angelo Badalamenti). We also mimicked the visual style of the Raised by Wolves intro here a bit to pay tribute. Waterflame and pftq were both huge fans of the show.
Base image generated in Dall-E. VFX by Air Media and pftq.Strings of the Lost (EP)Autodidactic Studios2024-03-24 | New suite of string-driven orchestral scores from @WaterflameMusic and @pftq to see if we could emulate the feel of various films like The City of Lost Children (Angelo Badalamenti), Unbreakable (Newton-Howard), Split (West Thordson), and Raised by Wolves (Ben Frost).
0:00 - Strings of the Lost 1:58 - Strings of the Evolved 4:38 - Strings of the Wolves
Strings of the Lost was originally meant to emulate The City of Lost Children, but it ended up sounding more like Unbreakable unintentionally. Strings of the Evolved takes the same theme and structure but gives it a darker more psychological feel with inspiration from the OST Split, particularly from when the Beast finally awakens.
Strings of the Wolves tries to capture the feel of the intro from Raised by Wolves but ironically ends up sounding close to The City of Lost Children as well. We also mimicked the visual style of the Raised by Wolves intro here a bit to pay homage.

ぼくらの未来へ (信じて) 一歩を踏み出して 一人じゃないで Un, Deux, Toi et Moi
周りのぼやけた景色が 星屑のように散らばっていく 息を吸って、始まりの一歩… Allez!
English: One, two, three
In a distant land You and I meet Joined hand in hand One, Two, Come with me
We take the first step towards the future (Believe) Taking fate into our own hands One, Two, Together
Stood frozen at the start line I feel the wind caressing my cheek The light shining from above turns into courage
At such hard times Just like a macaron Your heart can sink
But sometimes Just by adding a little spice Things might just start going your way
I am Always Right by Your side (forever)
One day We will Fly high In the sky (definitely)
I am Always Right by Your side (forever)
One day We will Fly high In the sky (definitely)
From now until forever I'd like to go on an adventure Wherever the wind blows
Living free Seeing the world This feeling is wonderful isn't it?
In a distant land You and I meet Joined hand in hand One, Two, Come with me
Towards the future We take the first step But not alone One, Two, You and Me
My surroundings blur And begin to look like stars in the night sky I take a deep breath, the first step
Go!
#hoyofair #hoyofair2024Undo Elevator Button Presses in JapanAutodidactic Studios2023-12-27 | Waterflame realizing he can cancel and undo elevator buttons in Japan.
Meant again by pftq as a collab stem for Waterflame to add to but didn't end up happening before the song got finished. Maybe 3rd time's the charm! Waterflame did share some synths/samples this time that were used by Zero-Bass though, so that helped get the sound a little bit closer to the inspiration. Like the first Lunar Trigger, the music is heavily inspired by two artists on Newgrounds - namely XsToRmEr1 (Flames of the Sky) and Zero-Bass (the Trigger in the name is a homage to his tracks as well - Lighting Trigger, Atomic Trigger, Death Trigger, etc).
This is also built out of the same instruments as Lunar Fractals, so it has a similar sound.
Check out Zero-Bass's stuff too! Managed to suddenly find his Spotify ironically because it got recommended to Lunar Trigger on auto-play, so looks like we got close enough to his style. :D open.spotify.com/artist/0zSUmTdqzIpecUexfuwdDB

The first third is mainly Lappy with something original, and from there, @WaterflameMusic and @pftq chopped up the original Genshindou to create something of a mashup. Big thanks to @DianaGarnet (ダイアナガーネット) as always for singing the vocals. Enjoy!

Video editing and VFX by Waterflame & pftq.Lunar Trigger - Piano TechnoAutodidactic Studios2023-08-28 | Made by @pftq originally as a stem for this month's collab but ended up being a whole song while waiting on Waterflame to do a pass. Waterflame may yet still do a separate take on this, but something for you to enjoy in the mean time! This music is heavily inspired by two artists pftq used to listen to on Newgrounds - namely XsToRmEr1 (Flames of the Sky) and Zero-Bass (the Trigger in the name is a homage to his tracks as well - Lighting Trigger, Atomic Trigger, Death Trigger, etc).
This is built out of the same instruments as Lunar Fractals, so it has a similar sound. You can consider it a more upbeat cousin of that track with a bit less melancholy.

English: Come on, strum it, strum it now, A song that cleanses the crimson-dyed earth. Strum it, yes, strum it now, The flower of peace blooms in full glory.
Under the fiercely flowing waterfall, Like a steadfast rock, I'll stand firm. Ignoring the world's noise and distractions, I'll incline my ears to my own voice.
Are you in pain now? Are you sad now? Ask yourself and open your heart. This bitterness, this anguish, Will become a verse and soar in a moment.
Come on, strum it, strum it now, A song that cleanses the crimson-dyed earth. Strum it, yes, strum it now, The flower of peace blooms in full glory.
In the endlessly distant future, Pieces of consciousness, the days lost. With these hands, seize the peace, Searching for meaning in life. Strum it, yes, strum it now, The flower of peace blooms in full glory.Waterflame vs Fate and IronyAutodidactic Studios2023-06-30 | Waterflame realizing he keeps ending up in ridiculous situations (à la Fate and Irony) because every time he knows exactly what to do, he can't help wonder "but what if..." - only to instantly regret it.

More piano and techno with a dash of synthwave / retrowave! pftq came up with the piano & initial synth melody while we were working on the Progenitor OST, and Waterflame ran with the rest!
As usual, we couldn't agree on a final version, so there's also a longer @WaterflameMusic remix as well ( youtube.com/watch?v=1q2YDJV8poE ). The original version here has more emphasis from pftq on the piano and main melody.

Long ago Lived two brave little knights A bright young girl and her brother Strong and true Donning armor of light Hand in hand Together Always
Maybe we’ll take out a goblin stronghold Or maybe kobolds tenfold Anywhere we go now We’ll overcome the darkness somehow.

Big thanks to @DianaGarnet (ダイアナガーネット) for collaborating with us on this one! It was an honor working with her (she sang Naruto's 32nd ED), and it's hard to imagine anyone else who could've done as an amazing job with the vocals! We were asked to channel Hiroyuki Sawano (澤野弘之 ) & Laco (ラコ), so we hope we did that well!
The composition was another joint effort between @WaterflameMusic and @pftq, with Waterflame working mainly on the guitars/bass + percussion while pftq worked mainly on the chords/harmonies, vocal melodies, and mastering.
This was used as the official ED theme for@dillongoo's Progenitor animation series in Genshin Impact's HoYoFair. youtube.com/watch?v=UmSJnKwaBVk&vl=en

Very niche even for psytrance listeners, so huge warning upfront - this is strictly what appeals to pftq (tons of plucky sharp sounds, million details all around). Enjoy!

A homage to the original Wizards in Winter video complete with an animation of the Christmas lights! Sadly Santa didn't make it into 2023.
For those unfamiliar, below is a reupload of the Wizards in Winter Christmas Lights video, the original of which is actually even older than YouTube itself! youtube.com/watch?v=pWBjl-jPcVMStronghold of Memories - Field of Memories & Entering the Stronghold - Mashup/RemixAutodidactic Studios2022-12-25 | Short and fun mashup by @pftq combining Waterflame and Denny's music from Stick War: Entering the Stronghold and Field of Memories (specifically Field of Memories 2). This is a taste of how epic an original collab track from the two composers can be when they finally get the time to do it. Meanwhile, you could say this is a fan imagining of what it might sound like. :P Merry Christmas!
